Käheään

Käheään is a grammatical case in the Finnish language. It is the partitive plural form of the adjective or noun "käheä," which translates to "hoarse" or "raspy" in English. Therefore, "käheään" describes multiple entities that are in a hoarse or raspy state.

The partitive case in Finnish is used to indicate a part of something, an indefinite quantity, or an incomplete action. When applied to the plural, it suggests a portion or an indeterminate number of things that are hoarse. For example, one might encounter "käheään ääneen" which translates to "with hoarse voices," referring to multiple people speaking in a hoarse manner.

The function of the partitive plural, including "käheään," is often seen in contexts where the exact number is not specified or is less important than the quality or state of the objects being described. It is a grammatical feature that contributes to the nuanced expression of quantity and state within the Finnish language.
